Charcoal vs. gas grills
If you are in the market for a grill there is one major decision you need to make before you even step out of your house to buy one. Do you want charcoal or gas?
Charcoal grills in mass production were started by the Weber company and were really what popularized American grilling. But really the debate is a matter of preference. Some folks think that charcoal is the only way to grill because of the taste it gives the grilled meat. While others prefer a gas grill because of how convenient it is.
Although charcoal grills may give grilled meat the best flavor it is also the most difficult way to grill. Grilling with Kingsford coals gives meat the smoky taste that most people associate with grilling.
With gas grills, just flipping a switch to grill is appealing. There is no kind of prep work with a gas grill and you can cook things easily and quickly. And when you run out of propane you can just go fill it up at the local gas station. However, these types of grills don’t really add much flavor or taste to the food.
As far as taste goes, it really does depend on the person. Although most people can taste the difference between a steak cooked on a gas grill or one cooked over coals.
Also you have to consider how much space you have in your backyard for a grill. These days people can have massive outdoor kitchens in their backyard.

A charcoal grill normally requires more room.
When it comes to cost, it’s a toss up. Charcoal is the more expensive fuel compared to electric or gas grills.
